(I find this CR on Testmagic, lot of viewers chose D but the original poster say the OA is B? so want to discuss with you, thanks in advance.)
Epicurus Pizzeria Currently, Epicurus Pizzeria has only regular sized tables.? However, many customers who come to watch the musicians at Epicurus prefer tall tables with stools as they would afford a better view.? In addition, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at regular sized tables. Therefore, to increase profitability, Epicurus should replace some of its regular seating with high tables and stools.
Which of the following, if true, weakens the argument?
A. A client at Epicurus preferring to sit at a tall table is an exception to the generalization about lingering
B. If enough tall tables are provided to satisfy all of Epicurus' customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables.
C. The price of meals ordered by musicians dining at Epicurus compensates for extended time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals
D. Customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
E. Some musicians come to the Epicurus to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available
Think it again, I vote D.
The line of the reasoning is that more high tables and stools, more profit will derive because:
the high tables and stools can provide a better view to satisfy the customers and that these customers will stay shorter time and they will not occupy the high tables and stoools longer, so with the same quantities of high tables and stoools,more consumers can ues these talbes and stools,thus more profit will get.
But D says:
stay less time, spend less money.
So, if Epicurus Pizzeria replace some of its regular seating with high tables and stools, the profit will drop because more customers will spend less money.

D is not related to the plan of Epicurus Pizzeria. Its plan is to replace some of its regular seating with high tables and stools because people/visitors prefer tall tables with stools.
B talks about the possible flaws of the plan. If enough tall tables are provided to satisfy all of Epicurus' customers interested in such seating, there would be no view. If there is no view, the plan cannot attract more customers.
Therefore, B only makes sense. D is completely unrelated to the plan.
